1/76 372-250 Aurora Boeing B-29 Superfortress
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+++
Still factory sealed and in a 'Excellent+++' box. The seal has two small splits and is missing a section on the left short side. The box certainly displays 'Near Mint+' but is graded lower because there is a small, short puncture near the bottom of the top long side. This is the rare 1960s issue retaining the same artwork as the 1956 issue. This kit has arguably the most dramatic and fanciful B-29 artwork from the 'Golden Era' of modeling. Responding to market information that boys wanted larger kits, Aurora introduced the B-26 followed by the B-29 and B-25, all of which sold well for many years. This is likely the 5th issue and the final one with the original artwork (I believe the 6th issue is the 'AURORA' logo issue with the red/orange sky). Note here that the rectangle 'Northern Lights' logo has been replaced with the Aurora sunburst oval logo, hence the yellow background.
